There are likely hundreds of types microorganisms in every established reef tank that we don't know are there and which either help or don't cause a problem, and the chance of finding one in a drop that came off of some filter floss that is the only one in the tank is effectively zero.

A neat find, but even on the off chance that it was a problematic one.... what recourse do you even have? Easier not to worry about boogeymen and only suspect when you actually see something going wrong - save yourself the stress.
